这项纵向研究介绍了肯尼亚内罗毕一个非正式定居点的COVID-19社区封锁对家庭能源和粮食安全的联合影响。随机管理的调查于2019年12月至2020年3月在社区封锁前完成（n = 474），并于2020年4月在封锁期间重复（n = 194）。在封锁期间，几乎普遍（95%）的收入下降，导致88%的家庭报告粮食不安全。在封锁期间，四分之一使用液化石油气（LPG）的家庭（n = 17）改用污染性烹饪燃料（煤油、木材），而液化石油气是一种通常以预定数量（例如6公斤气瓶）提供的清洁烹饪燃料，可以购买少量或免费收集。封锁期间家庭规模的增加也导致参与者改变他们的烹饪燃料，改变他们的烹饪行为和食物消费。此外，与继续使用石油气的家庭相比，较有可能转用石油气的家庭在封锁前的消费量较低，收入损失亦较大。因此，COVID-19封锁可能加剧了清洁烹饪燃料获取的不平等。这些发现表明了家庭人口结构、经济压力、饮食和烹饪模式之间的复杂关系，并为粮食与能源关系方法提供了实现多个可持续发展目标（SDG）的机会：实现零饥饿（SDG 2）和普遍负担得起的现代化和清洁能源到2030年获得（SDG 7）。确保液化石油气负担得起、可获得并满足家庭的饮食和烹饪需求，应成为帮助改善城市贫困人口粮食和能源安全的政策优先事项。
This longitudinal study presents the joint effects of a COVID-19 community lockdown on household energy and food security in an informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya. Randomly administered surveys were completed from December 2019–March 2020 before community lockdown (n = 474) and repeated in April 2020 during lockdown (n = 194). Nearly universal (95%) income decline occurred during the lockdown and led to 88% of households reporting food insecurity. During lockdown, a quarter of households (n = 17) using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), a cleaner cooking fuel typically available in pre-set quantities (e.g. 6 kg cylinders), switched to polluting cooking fuels (kerosene, wood), which could be purchased in smaller amounts or gathered for free. Household size increases during lockdown also led to participants’ altering their cooking fuel, and changing their cooking behaviors and foods consumed. Further, households more likely to switch away from LPG had lower consumption prior to lockdown and had suffered greater income loss, compared with households that continued to use LPG. Thus, inequities in clean cooking fuel access may have been exacerbated by COVID-19 lockdown. These findings demonstrate the complex relationship between household demographics, financial strain, diet and cooking patterns, and present the opportunity for a food-energy nexus approach to address multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): achieving zero hunger (SDG 2) and universal affordable, modern and clean energy access (SDG 7) by 2030. Ensuring that LPG is affordable, accessible and meets the dietary and cooking needs of families should be a policy priority for helping improve food and energy security among the urban poor.
